Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India, Kailash Choudhary who took part in the event virtually congratulated Krishi Jagran for hosting the millet special event.
Kailash Chaudhary said, "Millets, the 'mota anaaj', are a delicacy to be enjoyed and they have been underrated for a long time now. It is high time we bring them back into the spotlight, not because of their nutritional benefits but also for the economic boost they will bring to the Indian economy. We are grateful that PM Modi initiated this project and I congratulate Krishi Jagran on successfully following in PM Modi's footsteps."
Kailash Chaudhary is currently the Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India and MP (Loksabha), Barmer-Jaisalmer.
